Two HORRIBLE Tabatas:
Knees to Elbows
Bottom to Bottom Squats
All you need for knees to elbows is a bar to hang from. If you do not have one, I guess just do a push up tabata. Bars that hang in doorways are very inexpensive and a good investment. Pull ups are an unmatched exercise, and need to be worked on.
Most people will not be able to get their knees all the way to their elbows from a hanging position. This takes an incredible amount of core strength. The important thing is to raise your knees up as high as possible, trying to "tip" the pelvis up while doing so.
Remember...a tabata interval is 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest for 8 intervals (total of 4 minutes) Count the number of reps in each 20 second interval. Your score is the LOWEST number of reps in any given interval. Do the knees to elbows tabata, rest a few minutes, then do the bottom to bottom squat tabata.
